The Minnesota Department of Transportation has announced a new bridge to replace the existing Highway 24 Bridge spanning the Mississippi River in Clearwater will be constructed just east of the existing bridge.

Potential issues such as residential relocations, impacts to city utilities, local road connections, a DNR boat landing and construction staging were considered before making the final location set. Construction on the new bridge is expected to start July 2015 and be completed in the fall of 2016. The existing bridge will remain open until the new bridge is completed.

Those interested in the new bridge location, plans and timeline are invited to an open house on Monday, April 8th at Clearwater City Hall starting at 5 p.m.
